Job Description

Title: Behavior Technician (Naturalistic, Play-Based ABA) 

Cortica is looking for dedicated, compassionate Behavior Technicians to join our growing team and help us design and deliver life-changing care for children with neurodevelopmental differences. At Cortica, we don’t just offer jobs; we offer careers with purpose, growth, and support. 

What We Offer:  

  • Pay Range: $22.80 to $30.59 per hour, based on experience and education.
  • Thoughtfully Designed Schedules: We offer a predictable schedule with a single, direct rate of pay, including: 
    • Part-time roles with flexible 5-, 3- or 2-day-per-week options. 
    • Opportunities to pick up additional hours on Saturdays.
  • Fully Paid Training & Certification: Kickstart your career with Cortica with a comprehensive 3-week, in-person orientation that includes hands-on training, a Board-Certified Autism Technician (BCAT) exam review, and full coverage of your exam fees. We’re invested in your success from day one. 
  • Referral Bonus: Earn between $250-$500 for successful referrals. 
  • Cell Phone Stipend: Stay connected with support from us. 
  • Paid Drive Time and Mileage Reimbursement: We value your time on the road and include toll reimbursement in select areas. 
  • 401(k) with Company Matching: Secure your future with our generous plan. 
  • Ongoing Professional Development: Access continuous training through in-person and online opportunities. 
  • Supportive Environment: Collaborate with and receive expert coaching from Lead BTs, ABA Assistant Supervisors, and ABA Supervisors who champion your growth. 
  • Career Advancement: Opportunities to grow your career by advancing to a BCBA role, ascending the Behavior Technician Clinical Ladder, or serving in a corporate support role.
  • Learn from Experts in Other Fields: Partner with BCBAs and experts in speech-language therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy as well as counselors, pediatricians, neurologists, and nurse practitioners. 

 

Your Impact & Responsibilities:  

  • Provide 1:1 and group behavior-analytic services to children with autism and other neurodevelopmental differences. 
  • Implement positive behavior strategies developed with your BCBA. 
  • Use evidence-based practices to create meaningful progress for families. 
  • Document session data to track and support treatment goals. 
  • Collaborate closely with families and supervisors to build supportive environments. 
  • Follow Cortica's crisis protocols, including de-escalation and mandated reporting. 

 

Who We’re Looking For:  

  • Experience working with children (experience with autism is a plus!). 
  • High School or equivalent, bachelor’s or master’s degree. 
  • Willingness to obtain your BCAT credential within 90 days of your start date (We provide all training!). 
  • Ability to consistently travel between client sites within a 30–40-minute radius using reliable transportation. 
  • Tech-savvy with EMR systems and Microsoft Office tools. 

 

Our Inclusive Culture:  

  • Transdisciplinary Approach: Collaborate with experts in various fields to care for the whole child. 
  • Collaborative Process: Develop individualized care plans alongside families and clinicians. 
  • Strength-Based, Neurodiversity-Affirming Model: Focus on building on each child’s unique strengths rather than emphasizing deficits. 

     

Join Cortica’s team and make a meaningful impact by applying a strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming ABA therapy model . Help children recognize and build on their unique abilities, fostering positive relationships and skills that translate across home, school, and community settings. Be part of a progressive approach that combines neuroscience and developmental models to empower each child to thrive.
